South Korea often imposes travel bans when there is a risk to flight.

Somalia, whose streams often involve desecrating monuments and harassing local residents, has been banned multiple times from various social media platforms and is currently broadcast on Rumble, a live streaming platform with more lax moderation policies than twitchanother popular live streaming platform.

In videos Somali posted on Instagram last month, he appears to be drinking alcohol in a shop, where he spills instant noodles on a table before cleaning it up.

The video is no longer available on his YouTube channel.

The Somali also sparked outrage in South Korea for his behavior around Seoul’s Statue of Peace, also known as the Comfort Woman statue, which commemorates the tens of thousands of Korean women who were forced into sexual slavery by Japanese forces during the – the Second World War.

The video still available on Rumble shows the Somali kissing the statue, printing a picture of himself kissing it and then showing the picture to passersby in Seoul.

He later apologized, Agence France-Presse reported, saying he did not know the meaning of the statue.

Yonhap News Agency reported that Somali has been beaten several times in South Korea, including once by another livestreamer.

Authorities and locals alike frequently condemned the overseas features of the Somali and many other “disturbing influencers”.
